Intro:
Please NOTE, this list of paradigms is not exclusive. In this post, we will be discussing them briefly and talking about the topic of 'paradigms' in general. In later posts I will be more specific and go into greater detail. With that said, please enjoy the post, like and share with your friends!!!
Definition:
To put it simply, a programming paradigm is a 'style of programming'.
Different programming languages tend to be more suited to a particular paradigm, than to others.
For example, Java is quite well suited to OOP because everything is encapsulated within a class, from the beginning.
On the other hand, Python is a general purpose language which can flip between procedural, OOP, functional and more!!
Importance (Why we Need different Ones?):
At this point, you might be thinking, why do we need different ones? It's a common question, particularly for beginner programmers.
The answer is the same as 'Why Do We Need Different Programming Languages?' or 'What is the Best Programming Language?'
Different problems require different solutions!! For e.g. it may be more beneficial to write a solution using OOP rather than functional programming. On the other hand, smaller solutions may only require a procedural solution. Remember that there are many different ways to solve problems and that you shouldn't limit yourself to just 1.
Examples:
Procedural - Series of instructions telling the computer what to do, to solve the problem. Used by Python & Pascal.
Structured - Type of procedural programming, uses the programming constructs and modular techniques to decompose larger problems.
Object-Orientated-Programming - Views the world as a collection of objects that interact. Abstracts details and encourages reusability. E.g. Java.
Declarative - Writing statements describing the problem to be solved (queries) e.g. SQL.
Functional - Uses functions as the building blocks of programs. Statements are written as a series of functions.
Factors Impacting the Choice of Paradigm
I'm just gonna list some here and I challenge you, the viewer, to think about the benefits and trade-offs of them:
Speed
Efficiency
Reusability
Number of lines of code required
